Draining the carb??

[sharky71]

Plan to lay the van up shortly before the first road salt is laid.
In the past i used to run the engine atleast once a fortnight to keep everything ticking over,but,my question is,is this good or bad for the engine?
Am i just building up moisture in the engine and xhorst to which eventually the xhorst will rot and also potentially damage the engine because i don't drive it for any long distance's
So my question is should or can you drain the carb so as the fuel will not evaporate leaving sludge or grime in the carb body?
Running a 34 pict 3 standard set up.

Regards.

Sharky.

Won't do no harm just over the winter. Fired my 2110 stroker up for the first time in over weeks today and it started no problem. And that's with Weber 48's!
